Emmett's 7th Birthday

 Emmett turned seven last week!!  He requested a Minecraft party at home, so that's what we did.  :)

The food was fun to put together, thanks to Pinterest.  Although we bought pizza, too, and no one at hardly any of it because of all of those snacks!  I should have known better.  :)

Creeper Toss game...

The Jello "cups of water" were a hit!

So was the Steve head...

This cake was supposed to be a grass block from Minecraft.  No one ate hardly any of it, either!!  But I think everyone had a good time, and Emmett was happy, so that's good!

Playing "Pin the Tail on the Minecraft Pig"...

Here's E with the "ghast" piñata that I threw together... The ghast is a ghost in Minecraft.  Not sure why they had change one letter in the word, but whatever!  And can we just take a moment to give credit to Phil for this awesome MacGyver-rigging that he did for the piñata?!?  We had nowhere to hang it, and he whipped this up in a few minutes.  It worked great!

Getting water balloons ready...

Then the next day we extended the celebration by having a picnic at the park after church...

...and riding our bikes down to the beach after nap time.  It was a beautiful day!

Here are some extra pics that don't really relate to Emmett's b-day...

Here is my CC class from this year after our awards night last week...

And my three (yes, even Reid, too!!!) Scripture Memory Masters!!  They memorized and recited Exodus 20:1-17.  Reid was the youngest and the only 5-year-old in all of our CC to do it!!  :) We are so proud of him!

Davis so sweet and cute sleeping the other night...
